The options to are set by selecting Settings Configure from the menubar. This will bring up a dialog box.
Preferences
Preferences
This dialog box is divided into four sections.
Game 	 The first option, labelled Enable ? Mark, determines whether you can mark squares as questionable. If there is a mark in front of this option, then right clicking the mouse will first cause a case to be flaged. If you click again on the same square, the flag will change to a ?, to indicate you don't know if there is a bomb there or not. If you click again, the square will change back to blank.
If there is not a mark in front of this option, the first right mouse click will change the case to a red flag. The second will make it blank again, thus skipping the ? symbol.
The next option down, labelled Enable keyboard, determins if the keyboard shortcuts will work while playing the game.
The only keyboard shortcuts affected, are those responsible for playing the game. Keyboard commands such as New Game, and Quit, still work, regardless of this option.
The last section of this tab, allows you to change the action of each of the three mouse buttons. Your options are:
Reveal 	This will reveal the contents of the case. If there is no bomb, then a number will appear. If there is a bomb under that case, then the bomb will explode, and the game will be over.
Toggle Mark 	Clicking with this button on a case, will mark/unmark with a redflag.
Autoreveal 	Clicking on a case with this button, will automatically reveal all neighboring cases, that are not marked with red flags. If one of those neighboring cases has a bomb under it, the bomb will explode, and the game will be over.
Toggle flag 	Clicking with this button on a case, will flag/unflag with a question mark.
Toggle ? mark 	Clicking with this button on a case, will mark/unmark with a question mark.
Appearance 	 The top option, entitled case size, determines the size of each of the squares in the playing area. By default, they are set small. You can increase the size, if you are working on a very high resolution monitor.
The rest of this page is concerned with colors. To adjust, simply click the color button beside each description, and select the new color.
Highscores 	 Here you can change your Nickname and add a cute Comment about yourself, to show in the high score table. You can also enable the World-wide highscores enabled checkbox, and share your skill at across the world with an online high score server.
Custom Game 	 Finally, if you are not finding the existing configurations challenging enough, you can set up a custom game here. Use the sliders to change the Width, Height, and the percentage of the board covered with Mines. The default game has 20 percent of the board covered, so there is plenty of room to make the game harder.
Saving your changes 	Once your changes are complete, click OK to make them permenant.
If you want to abandon your changes, click Cancel to abort the changes.
If you click on Default, the default settings will be restored. Click OK to make these default changes permenant, or edit the settings some more.
